Soon, no interviews for low-rank govt jobs

Soon, no interviews for low-rank govt jobs

NEW DELHI: Moving ahead with PM Narendra Modi's I-Day promise, the department of personnel and training is identifying posts in the government where it can dispense with the requirement for an interview.

In a significant move, the government has decided remove the process of interviews for low ranking jobs from next year. The move is likely to benefit thousands of qualified job seekers who fail to crack job interviews due to poor communication skills.

Addressing the nations on his monthly radio programsMann ki Baat, Prime Minister Modi said, "From January 1, next year, there will be no requirement of interview for Group B,C and D posts in central government."

Sources said the government is looking to implement the move at the earliest and a beginning is expected to be made with Group `D' posts, although the plan is to extend the policy to Group `C' and `B' posts as well. The idea is to reduce discretion and scope for corruption in government jobs and the need for an interview in some of the hiring can easily be done away with.

In addition, the move is expected to hasten the process of recruitment. Yet, the government is keen that a fool-proof system is evolved, which is not prone to misuse in the future.

Sincere thanks to modi sir for this great effort towards transparency.
